Fei Ran picked a handful of tender locust leaves, turned over, and jumped off the locust tree with one hand hanging.

He held the locust leaf in one hand and Fei Yi in the other, "Father, this is just the prelude to a happy life."

Fei Yi didn't know, so he looked up at him.

How can you live happily after being beaten.

However, Fei Yi later understood.

Ever since the emperor made a special trip to the King's mansion to beat up the king, the ministers in the court no longer said that the king was not qualified for the position of the right servant, and everyone became quiet.

The emperor had personally taught the king a lesson, and he only stopped after several princes pleaded for mercy. For the king, this punishment was enough, and the emperor clearly rewarded and punished him, so naturally there was nothing to criticize.

Not to mention that after being beaten, the king went to the court on time every day, carefully nodded, and did not return to the mansion after the court, but went straight to the Ministry of Revenue every day. He not only consulted the Ministry of Revenue's files over the years, but even asked the emperor for an investigation. checked and compared the relevant files of various ministries, and even transferred some files of Dali Temple to check and compare. Several times, just read it at night in the Ministry of Revenue without returning home.

Not to mention that the ministers nodded, even the emperor was very pleased, and because he was afraid that Fei Ran would be tired, he specially called people over and told him to take a rest.

Sometimes when Fei Yi returns home, he may not be able to see Fei Ran.

Feiran's sudden advancement surprised everyone who was familiar with him, Fei Qi repeatedly circled around Fei Ran several times: "Are you rehabilitated?"

Fei Ran: "I've always been on the right path."

Fei Qi: ...

If it wasn't for his brother, he would have believed it.

On this day, there was a quarrel in the court about the relief of the epidemic in the Lu'an area.

Ministry of Revenue Shangshu: "I think that the allocation of funds and silver can be compared with previous years. The epidemic happened in Lu'an area from time to time. It is not a rare thing. You can send an imperial doctor to help solve it."

The epidemic in Lu'an does not happen once or twice, it is like a yearly habit, there will always be one or two outbreaks in hot weather, the contagion is not widespread, it happens every year, and everyone is used to it.

But want to use the usual things to make the Ministry of Revenue pay more?

That's impossible, the Ministry of Revenue disagrees.

Xunnan Yushi: "This year Lu'an and other places are more droughty than in previous years, and the harvest may be insufficient. In addition to the epidemic, the people are struggling. More money should be allocated for disaster relief."

Minister of the Household Department: "Drought in the southeast is a perennial phenomenon. Your Majesty has now exempted the people of Lu'an from taxation and corvee. If you increase the silver, the burden on the country will be heavy. I personally think it is impossible."

Xunnan Yushi: "Exempting him from taxes and corvees is a holy grace for the family. Now that the people in Lu'an have not yet harvested, the people still need the court to open warehouses for relief..."

Ministry of Revenue Shangshu: "Naturally, the matter of relief cannot be delayed, but..."

Two people come and go, no one will let.

The central idea is that the censor wants more money, but the Ministry of Revenue does not agree to give more according to the usual practice.

During the exchange between the two, the officials on both sides who supported their ideas also began to argue, and soon the entire hall began to quarrel over this matter.

Sitting at the top, Hui Zhaodi looked down with a calm expression, and couldn't tell which side he supported in his heart for a moment.

However, all of a sudden, Hui Zhaodi caught sight of Fei Ran whose eyes were about to close, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly spoke.

"Ministry of Revenue, right servant, tell me, I'll hear your opinion."

Suddenly, the hall fell silent instantly, and all eyes focused on Fei Ran.

King Xie was basically the mascot in the eyes of the courtiers in the main hall, as long as he stood there every morning so as not to make His Majesty angry, and everyone would not bother him with any problems.

Even the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue has never assigned him a job, he and Zuo Shilang dealt with it directly, one is knowing that Fei Ran is lazy by nature, and the other is that he is worried that something may go wrong in his hands, which will be troublesome It's still them, so they simply treat Fei Ran as a master in the Ministry of Revenue.

Many ministers had the same idea with Shangshu Hubu, so no one came to him. After a long time, they almost forgot about Feiran.

Now when they suddenly heard the emperor calling his name, everyone couldn't help but froze, as if they suddenly discovered that there was such a person in the palace.

Ministry of Revenue Shangshu and Zuo Shilang immediately stared at Fei Ran, fearing that the money would be given away as soon as he said it.

It’s not that the Ministry of Revenue doesn’t care about the common people. In their view, as long as there is enough money for disaster relief, they don’t want to spend more than one per cent. People ask the Ministry of Revenue for money every day from top to bottom in the whole central area. If there is more than one per cent, the treasury will be emptied sooner or later, and they must guard against it.

Xunnan Yushi also stared at Fei Ran, hoping that he would stand by their side.

As a member of the Ministry of Revenue, and the emperor's favorite prince, the emperor might really consider Fei Ran's opinion.

The censor is not greedy for money, but from his point of view, the epidemic and drought happened at the same time, these days will inevitably be difficult for the people of Lu'an, if more money is allocated, maybe one or two more people will be saved , so that the people in Lu'an will not have such a difficult dry season.

For a moment, both sides stared at Fei Ran with piercing eyes, waiting for Fei Ran to speak.

After staying up for several nights, Fei Ran tried to open his eyes wide and looked at Emperor Hui Zhao.

Pausing for a second, recalling what happened just now, Fei Ran cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the two ministers said is not unreasonable."

Ministry of Revenue Shang Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

And thin mud is also good, anyway, just don't let the Ministry of Revenue pay more.

Xunnan Yushi was a little disappointed, but quickly calmed down.

At least Fei Ran didn't deny him.

Fei Ran's kind attitude made everyone look away instantly and stand upright.

It's because they expected too much.

Although the king made a water wheel and a fruit receiver, those two things are objects, which are incomparable with the real court affairs. In addition, the king has not been involved in government affairs for many years, so it is not an exaggeration to say such a thing.

Everyone gradually calmed down, and just when they were about to stand in their respective camps and continue to discuss the matter, Fei Ran spoke again.

Fei Ran: "Your Majesty, although what the two lords said is reasonable, I think that the strategy that lord Yushi said is not the fundamental solution to this matter."

The censor's face darkened suddenly.

What does this mean?

Don't want to give money?

Fei Ran: "I have checked the various files of the Ministry of Revenue on Lu'an these days, and found that when Lu'an is hot, there are not a few people who die due to the heat. And every time Lu'an is hot, there will be new ones. In addition to the epidemic and the fact that the people rely on the sky for food, if there is a severe drought, the life of the people in Lu'an will be even more difficult, and the casualties of the people will also increase sharply."

Hubu Shangshu couldn't help frowning.

What does this mean?

Want more money?

Fei Ran: "Qi Your Majesty, I have some thoughts on this."

When Emperor Huizhao heard that Fei Ran really said something, he couldn't help but be concerned: "But it doesn't matter."

"First, although the epidemic is not widespread and can be effectively suppressed every time, it is inevitable that the root cause will not be cured. Dealing with the root cause of the outbreak is the first step.

2. The number of dead people in Lu'an has always been at the forefront of the cities in the heat of summer. This is not unrelated to the hardships of the local people. If the people can live enough, there will not be so many casualties. Improving the local people's livelihood is the right thing to do.

3. Once the land in Lu'an is a little dry, the grain harvest will become a problem, which is the root cause of the people's life in Lu'an. think that improving people's livelihood can start with food. "

As soon as Fei Ran finished speaking, Yu Shi spoke.

"King Xi's words are a little too simple." Yushi cupped his hands to Emperor Huizhao and said:

"Your Majesty, the epidemic is unpredictable. Some people say that it was punished by the heavens. How can we find the root cause? Let's talk about improving the people's livelihood in Lu'an. Food depends on the harvest of the sky. How can it be improved by talking about it? I think disaster relief is the most important thing now. Things."

Fei Ran shook his head: "You can't say that. Naturally, disaster relief is the most important thing, but the root cause is the best policy."

Minister of the Ministry of Revenue frowned. Those who had argued with the Yushi just now inevitably sided with the Yushi.

He glanced at Fei Ran, thinking he was ignorant, and opened his mouth to explain:

"Although what You Shilang said is reasonable, you don't know it. There is no solution to this matter. The place and situation of the outbreak of the epidemic are different every year. The local officials will clean up the water source and spread the herbs every time it is hot. Lime, to prevent the epidemic, but there is still no sign of the outbreak of the epidemic, and the food has been diverted from the west for irrigation, but some areas cannot be taken care of.”

Over the years, the DPRK and China have basically done everything that can be done in the Lu'an area, but some things can't be solved just by thinking about it.

Minister of the Ministry of Revenue thought that what Fei Ran wanted to say was the best strategy, what he just said, and he would make a joke, so he couldn't help but explain a little bit.

Although the Ministry of Revenue cannot give more money, people should still protect what they should protect. After all, the king is now a member of the Ministry of Revenue.

Fei Ran nodded, "I have heard a thing or two about what the two lords said, but these days, I have retrieved and compared the files from various places over the years, and I really asked this king to find something and come up with a solution. .”

The solution?

Everyone in the hall looked at Fei Ran suddenly.

how can that be? !

Emperor Hui Zhao looked at Fei Ran who was standing frankly and frankly at the bottom, his eyes were slightly pensive.

He was a little afraid of making a joke out of Fei Ran, after all the matter of Lu'an had always been an unsolved problem.

However, thinking that Fei Ran has been working seriously at the Ministry of Revenue recently, and has read a lot of files, maybe he can see something.

Emperor Huizhao inevitably had some hope, and under the attention of the officials, Emperor Huizhao still spoke:

"I'll listen to your solution."

Fei Ran clasped his hands, "I looked through the files of the whole country and found that not only the Lu'an area, but also in Lingnan in the third year of Guangshuo, Huacheng in the eighth year of Guangshuo, Lu County in the eighteenth year of Guangshuo, Nanyi in the twenty-fifth year of Guangshuo, Nanyi in Guangshuo Suichuan for forty years, Qinshan for six years for Tianding..."

Fei Ran talked about these years and regions one by one.

Some people were puzzled by what Fei Ran said, but as Fei Ran talked about it in recent years, some ministers who knew the matter only reacted.

What Fei Ran was talking about was a place similar to Lu'an where epidemics broke out over the years!

How did he remember so much? !

Fei Ran continued: "...the outbreaks of diseases in these areas investigated by the minister are similar to the outbreaks of diseases in Lu'an every year in terms of source situation, spread range and severity, etc. Time is far apart,

Therefore, checked the local people's livelihood situation that year, and found that a small part of it was due to the sudden outbreak of the local epidemic in good weather, and most of it was due to poor local harvests, resulting in many casualties. "

"The last time I asked for an order to transfer part of the files of Dali Temple, I found that there were cases of dead bodies in many places where the epidemic broke out when the weather was good, and the local people attributed the epidemic to these On the unjust case of a corpse that has decayed for a long time but has no owner..."

"What's the relationship between those unjust cases and these epidemics?" Lord Yushi couldn't hold back his words, "Could it be that those unjust cases have been unresolved for a long time, which caused the ghosts to haunt them?"

Although they say that the epidemic is a punishment from heaven, it is still a bit outrageous to refer to the injustice of the epidemic in various places.

Someone even said: "The right servant is not trying to say that he wants to find an expert to exorcise ghosts?"

For a while, many courtiers who thought of this area frowned instantly.

This is not solving the problem, this is simply nonsense!

There was a lot of noise in the hall, and Emperor Huizhao's face darkened when he saw it: "Quiet! Listen to the servant on the right."

He vaguely felt that what Fei Ran said was not that simple.

Fei Ran looked around, "My lords, please be safe and calm, have you noticed that most of these areas have one thing in common, whether it is a place with good weather or a place of natural disasters and man-made disasters."

common ground?

What do they have in common?

Some ministers in the hall couldn't help looking at each other for a moment.

Other ministers lowered their eyebrows and pondered, as if they vaguely knew where the similarities were.

At this moment, the prince on the side suddenly said: "Dead corpses, there are dead corpses everywhere!"

The author has something to say:
